KUANTAN, MALAYSIA - SEPTEMBER 28: A man is seen fishing at Kuantan river under the bridge shrouded in haze on September 28, 2015 in Kuantan, Malaysia. The worsening smog across northern Indonesia, neighbouring Singapore and parts of Malaysia forced some schools to close and airlines to delay flights this week, while Indonesia ordered a crackdown on lighting fires to clear forested land. The smoke resulted from wildfires caused by illegal land clearing in Sumatra and Borneo islands of Indonesia, often spreads choking haze into neighboring countries such as Malaysia and Singapore.
